Williamsburg--Fall 2009

Nancy and Doug, Norma and Theron, and Marilyn and Jerry flew out to Raleigh for a family gathering in Colonial Williamsburg. We stayed for a week at the Marriott Vacation Club resort at Ford's Colony. The accommodations were nice; the get-together was wonderful. Here are a few pictures at some of the sites we visited.
This is the whole group on the banks of the James River, between Williamsburg and Jamestown.

Sisters and brother in a Powhatan dug-out canoe, in a recreation of the Jamestown settlement (1607--the first English colony in the New World).

A native American--sort of--demonstrating the craft of twine-making in Jamestown.

The whole gang again, at Black Beach on the end of Jamestown Island.

Dave and Shelly Myers drove down from California, MD for a day.

Looks fun! My only question is: at what age does it become mandatory to wear a fanny pack when you travel?

Hey, fanny packs are just plain practical.
